1 | further question on "Sons of God" | Gen 6:2 | bandit | 198376 | ||
Jim, A question. I know that many interpret the "Sons of God" in Genesis 6:2 as the godly line of Seth with the daughters of man being from Cain's line. This was the opinion of Augustine and the Reformers as well. But can you provide any insight on how that would match with the "Sons of God" in Job 38:7 being angels? I think 2 Peter 2:4 is also taken as a reference to the incident in Genesis 6:2. I've heard the major objection to the "Sons of God" being angels is Christ's comment in Matthew 22 that angels do not procreate. But Jude 1:6-7 speaks of angels leaving their first estate and going after strange flesh and fornication. I'm not trying to cause confusion but wanted to reconcile what I'm reading in some of my studies with the different viewpoints. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks! |

2 | God sought Moses to kill him | Ex 4:24 | bandit | 198293 | ||
Hi Hadassah-ruth, I'm new here and I saw your post and wanted to answer. That passage gave me a hard time for a while. The general consensus that the Lord sought to kill Moses because his son was not circumcised. The word in the verse "sought" is considered to be a slow, lingering method so Moses (or as it turned out, Zipporah) had time to correct the problem. In response to your second question: Yes, God was glorified through His judgment on Egypt and their gods but, also, Pharaoh chose to harden his heart first. So, in this case, you have simple evil (Pharaoh refusing to repent or change his course of action) leading to complex good (God permitting Pharaoh to continue his outrages so that Israel may be released with a mighty hand). So, while God did harden Pharaoh's heart, that was the choice of Pharaoh from the beginning. The Master Teacher will know when a student will not learn. :) |
